  The short term impacts of oil after the  Hamill brothers drilled for the black gold in the American territory,  was that the price of the oil became cheaper and cars were produced in mass. Oil was so important that it provided fuel. Fuel would be the newest resource to enable Henry Ford develop affordable cars for people to buy. Oil was essential in the process of building the modern world.
